I have been a SAHM before for 5 years...but even then I taught my kids to be as independent as possible as they need to survive in the school environment! Theres so much of lifeskills that children need to be taught...and now that Im a FTWM I ve had to do even more...Im still learning...how to balance all the things that come my way..not easy...I go crazy on certain days..n some days they are all smooth sailing...thats life..with ups and downs! make the most out of everything!

Yes jedamum..im back in the same industry...i went back as i truly needed the money as I had to make major changes to my home. So needed to support my husband for awhile..Im already looking into alternatives ryte now...still would like to work as it helps to have extra cash at hand to handle expenses for my children..but i dun like being away from my children either...esp my youngest..who wants me to switch her to half day prog..which I will if things work out well for me...LadyInBlack:

thanks beauty79,
You are a great mum! Take care of yourself and don't fall into the trap of prioritizing Your child above your spouse or yourself.crystalbelle:

hi, i was really hoping that i can do away with maid since she gone home last friday but my body did not allow me... I like the idea that the kids will be more independent when there is no maid as during the maids period, the kids will always order the maid around to help them with the chores even though i have told them that the maid is not there to do these for them...Good morning everyone! its midweek!!!
crystalbelle: hope you are well! hang in there okay..I dun have a maid either...Im usually running around non stop..n yes I have trained my children to handle a lot on their own..but I end up still nagging...but I hope all of it will pay off some day! cos my mum trained me from young..n after a certain age, and when the need arose, i believe i just surprised her as i was her pillar of support when her mum was unwell and she had to care for her. I believe someday all of our efforts for our children will pay off..just a matter of time. Take care dearie!
But to do the mopping and cleaning after a long day at work which i usually get back around 8p.m... it is really hard for my old bones so i had to again submit to the ideas of getting a maid even though i know how different these maid are compare to few years ago...
:faint: :faint: :faint:
flu bugs are still with me... cant take MC even though the doc have issue as have big meeting this whole week... :imdrowning: -
